Abstract

A new and distinct peach tree variety which originated as a whole tree mutation of the Rio Oso Gem variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 84) is provided. The fruit of the new variety ripens approximately 17 to 18 days earlier than that of the Rio Oso Gem variety and approximately 8 days earlier than that of the Early Rio Oso Gem variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No., 2940).

Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct variety of peach tree was discovered in 1961 as a bud sport of the Rio Oso Gem variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 84) at Diebold's Orchard, Inc. maintained on cultivated property in Scott County, Mo.
The fruit of the new variety is indistinguishable from that of the Rio Oso Gem variety. It has an identical size, color, texture, flavor, and tendency to produce raised sutures. However, the fruit ripens approximately 17 to 18 days earlier than that of the Rio Oso Gem and approximately 8 days earlier than that of the Early Rio Oso Gem (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,940). The tree of the new variety additionally displays more vigor and disease resistance and smaller flowers than the Rio Oso Gem variety.
The new variety exhibits good resistance to disease. This improved disease resistance of the new variety has been confirmed by observing the new variety while growing in an orchard where trees of the Rio Oso Gem variety were nearby. Bacterial leaf spot was encountered in the Rio Oso Gem variety, but was absent in the new variety.
Because of the distinctive characteristics of the new variety the plant was asexually reproduced by budding. This propagation shows that the unique combination of characteristics comes true to form and is established and transmitted in succeeding propagation. The specimens described herein were grown and observed at Scott County, Mo.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of my new variety as depicted in color. As previously indicated the fruit color including that of the fruit flesh is believed to be identical to that of the Rio Oso Gem variety. Accordingly, the actual fruit flesh color tends to be of a more yellow color than that manifest in FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 illustrates in a more accurate manner the flesh color of the fruit of the new variety.
